Hugh Jackman was in Sydney yesterday sporting a new look for The Wolverine while posing for pictures and signing autographs. Apparently the Wolverine sequel will be about that time in his life when he was penniless, living on the street and had nowhere else to turn to except homeless prostitution. That was in the comics. Look it up.

Hugh Jackman went for a swim at Bondi Beach after a “long hard weight session” in Sydney on Sunday. Then he ran up to me and kicked sand in my face while flexing his muscles for the ladies. That Hugh Jackman is such a jerk.

The last time we covered shirtless Hugh Jackman, not many people commented so I’m hoping that by phrasing this title in the form of a question we’ll encourage more reader participation, as it were. Otherwise the next time Hugh has a hot, wet beach photo op we won’t be so likely to cover it. Which is fine, but I’m crying inside a little. There’s very little I like covering more than shirtless Hugh Jackman. Unless Matt Damon strips down and does the equivalent of a vacation commercial. Which you know isn’t going to happen. The last time we saw him shirtless on the beach was three years ago and he was still pudgy from his Informant weight gain. He needs to show off that Elysium body.
This is Hugh’s rough and ready Wolverine body. He’s due to start filming the Wolverine sequel at the end of this month. If you compare how he looks now in these fantasy-ready candids on the beach in Australia yesterday, with how he looked less than a month ago, he’s even more defined. This is a man who is supremely committed to his craft and my God does it show.
This has got to be my favorite photo, where his shirt is half off. He’s getting ready to come over to rub sunscreen on my back, with slow strong hands.
Anyway here’s what the Daily Mail says about these photos, and about the filming schedule, which takes place in Hugh’s native Australia. Unfortunately Jessica Biel is going to be in it. Why?!
Strapping star Hugh Jackson showed off his famously muscular physique today on Bondi Beach in his native Australia.
In a sight that surely left women swooning, and men envious, the X Men actor stripped off for a swim in the sea, revealing his rock solid set of abs.
The toned 6ft 2inch performer enjoyed the warm weather and showed off his athletic prowess…
Jackman’s stay in his hometown of Sydney is not purely for play as he will begin filming X-Men sequel The Wolverine at Fox Studios within a matter days.
According to reports, Hugh’s list of requests, a private gym has been set up for him on set and a temporary home has been found for his family in Woollahra.
Local media also estimate the movie will provide an $80million boost to the Australian economy.
Just last week it was revealed that Jessica Biel will join Jackman in the cast.
Biel will play Viper in the sixth installment of the series of films.
According to Marvel?s website, Viper originates from a war-torn Eastern European country and is involved in several parts of Wolverine?s story.

The film is scheduled for release next summer. For now we have these lovely photos of Hugh looking like an advertisement for just about anything that anyone would buy. You’ll excuse me while I have trouble gathering my thoughts. This is such a nice way to begin a Monday.

Here’s Hugh Jackman filming scenes with his sweet Jesus-beard on the set of Les Miserables. If there were no cameras in front of him, he’d just be a crazy homeless guy shouting and throwing paper into the air. But since there are, he’s “acting”… like a crazy homeless guy shouting and throwing paper into the air.

I know that question is ridiculous, and it’s making me giggle uncontrollably. You know I would! It’s Hugh Jackman. Just stick him in the shower and wash the grime off him first and you’re good to go. When I first read that Hugh Jackman lost weight I was like “where” since the dude was already buff. After I saw him I realized that he lost weight the Christian Bale way, all over until he looks emaciated. Poor Hugh. I’ll make him a nice meal and take care of him.
Hugh is playing the Jean Valjean role in Le Miserables, and he’s of course in character for these shots taken on set in London. I honestly didn’t read the book, but I saw the 1998 film, with Liam Neeson, Claire Danes and Uma Thurman. I loved it and wonder why they have to make another one (update: this one is a musical, thanks for cluing me in!) Celebuzz has a good overview of Hugh’s character, along with the casting for the rest of the film. Hugh is playing the lead Liam Neeson occupied in the earlier movie:
Hugh Jackman isn?t looking so jacked on the set of Les Miserables. The Wolverine actor known for his big smile and bulging biceps was easy to miss while filming scenes for the beloved play-turned-movie.
Hugh, 43, is shooting scenes in London, England as the character of Jean Valjean, and looks to have shed some pounds and muscle for the part. Dressed in rags, Hugh also dons a poorly shaved haircut that includes scars all over his head.
In case you?re not familiar with the story, here?s a breakdown of Hugh?s character, and it may explain why he?s so thin.
In Les Mis, Jean is a poor man who has been on the run from the law for 19 years after he stole bread to feed his sister?s starving children during an economic depression in France. Jean is actively pursued his whole life (and throughout the play) by police officer Javert (Russell Crowe).
Other familiar faces to join Hugh in this classic tale include Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Helena Bonham-Carter (Madame Thnardier), Anne Hathaway (Fantine) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Monsieur Thnardier).

The only thing that Celebuzz forgot to mention in their article above is that Russell Crowe will be playing the officer who chases Jackman’s character throughout the film, his foil Javert. Now I’m getting all excited for this movie, which isn’t out until December! Damn, well at least it’s coming this year.
I’m going to take a hint from Celebuzz and also include some shirtless photos of Jackman as contrast. It’s Tuesday Wednesday*, we deserve them. These are from last August, so it wasn’t too long ago that Hugh was big in just the right places.
*I honestly thought it was only Tuesday! WTH is wrong with me?

He?s always given his all to his roles, and Hugh Jackman looked like an authentic Jean Valjean on the set of ?Les Miserables? today (March 20).
The ?Australia? stud sported a carved-up coif, with a scraggly beard and unkempt ensemble as he filmed scenes for the film adaptation of the world famous musical.
In addition to Jackman, stars like Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Russell Crowe are signed on to the project.
?Les Miserables? is scheduled to hit theaters on December 14th, just in time for the holiday movie season.

Adding their A-list star power to the Royal event, Hugh Jackman and Elle Macpherson attended a Buckingham Palace reception for members of the Australian community living in the UK on Thursday evening (October 13).
The "Real Steel" stud suited up in a navy blazer while the former supermodel looked divine for her face time with the evening's host in a pale Pink colored Donna Karan dress.
The elegant affair comes just days before the Queen is set to embark on an 11-day tour of Australia - a trip Macpherson is quite excited about, telling press, "It's great for us and great for her."
Sure to keep things on a lighter note, Jackman, a fellow Down Under native, explained his feelings about being invited to the grand palace, jokingly explaining, "As an Aussie it feels weird, I'm just waiting to get thrown out."

Hey, Hugh Jackman. No one wants to see your chiseled abs, sculpted chest, broad shoulders and bulging biceps. Put your shirt on. You’re embarrassing yourself. Am I right, ladies? Ladies? Oh, okay. I’ll just wait until you pick your jaws up off the floor for confirmation then.

Those of you who read us regularly know that I love Hugh Jackman. I just think he’s a genuinely nice guy and super hot to boot. My admiration of Hugh crept up on me. While I’ve had crushes on other celebrities like Matt Damon and Johnny Depp forever, Hugh earned my fangirl status from his actions and interviews. Anyway here’s another reason to love Hugh. In a new interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, the 42 year-old actor opens up about how he and his wife of 15 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, struggled with infertility before deciding to adopt. They are now parents to son Oscar, 11, and daughter Ava, six. Hugh describes it as very difficult to get to the point of adopting, but ultimately rewarding. He also sees the adoption of his two children as fated. It’s touching the way he explains it.
The 42-year-old star is married to wife Deborra-Lee Furness and they have two adopted children - Oscar, 11, and Ava, six.
He spoke to Australia’s Herald Sun about the moment they discovered they weren’t able to have children naturally.
He said: ‘It was painful. It’s not easy. You put a lot of time and effort into it, so it’s emotional.
‘I think any parent can relate - trying to have children is wonderful and when you feel as though that’s not going to happen, there’s a certain anxiety that goes with it.’
He added: ‘We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt. But when we decided we’d had enough of IVF, we went ahead with adoption.’
However the couple soon moved on with their plans to become parents.
Jackman said: ‘From the moment we started the adoption process, all the anxiety went away. I don’t think of them as adopted - they’re our children.
‘Deb and I are believers in I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children.
‘Now, as we go through life together, sure there are challenges, but everyone’s in the right place with the right people. It sounds airy-fairy, but it’s something we feel very deeply.’
[From The Daily Mail]
That’s so nice! Hugh and Deborra have been open about this issue, and are involved in several adoption charities. I found this moving interview with Deborra from 2004, before their second child was adopted. She said she’d had two miscarriages before they decided to adopt Oscar. Back when Oscar’s mother was pregnant and Deborra and Hugh were meeting with her about adopting the baby, Deborra thinks she was given a sign that he was meant to be their son. She described how she was in an airplane and saw a lightning storm over Iowa, where his birth mother is from. Here’s that part:
“And I kept saying to Hugh when we were in discussions early on. I said I havn’t got a message yet, I?m waiting for a message. And I was on a flight from Los Angeles to Toronto where Hugh was shooting X-Men 1, I think it was, and I was sitting on this flight and I looked out the window and there was this incredible electric storm outside the window and it was so beautiful, I was just staring at it and I said to the guy sitting next to me, ?Wow, look at that, it?s amazing, where are we, and he said I think we?re somewhere over Iowa,” And I, I knew that that was the birth mother I had been speaking to and I grabbed the stewardess and I said do you know where we are and she said oh come up here and took me up to the pilot?s cabin it was before September 11, and went in there and I said where are we? And he said, see down there, there?s Cedar Rapids, and tears started to roll down my face and I knew that was my message. And I loved it, it was like it wasn?t a subtle message, it was like, it?s me already, it?s like this huge electrical storm.”
[From ABC.net.au]
I usually don’t believe in signs and messages. When people tell stories like this I find it fascinating though. I truly believe that they thought they received a sign, and that it was a sign in that way, since signs are what we make of them. (Hopefully that makes sense and doesn’t sound condescending, although it probably does.)
Hugh and Deborra sound like they’re on the exact same page when it comes to their family, and that’s very refreshing to hear, inside or outside of Hollywood.
Most of these photos are from July and August of this year, except for the one where they’re in coats, that’s from October. Credit: Fame

He?s always a sight to see, and Hugh Jackman drove the crowd crazy at the premiere of his new movie ?Real Steel? in London, England on Friday (September 16).
The ?Wolverine? stud looked dapper in a black suit and tie as he happily posed for pictures before heading inside the BT Tower for the film?s debut screening.
According to IMDB, the action/sci-fi flick involves a glimpse of the future where 2,000-pound humanoid robots do battle.
Aside from Mr Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Kevin Durand, Anthony Mackie and Hope Davis all have lead roles in the film.
